All of these resource are written by experts, but not all of them can be cited as an academic source in a research paper.

Mankind has always been afraid of the unknown, of the things that they cannot control. This is the case in the apocalyptic story “The Star” by H.G. Wells written in 1897. This short tale narrates the trajectory of a new star in our galaxy, and how it heads into a collision course with the sun. The star is first noticed because of its disruption in Neptune’s orbit, with whom it later collides with. Later on the narrator explains its effects when near Jupiter and this planet’s moons, and lastly, about the consequences it brings to Earth’s weather, soil and humanity while passing at a close proximity of the planet. When first discovered, only the scientific minds, specifically astronomers, were interested in such an event, while the rest of society

The widely believed claim that the moon has physiological effects on humans or other living organisms on Earth is known as the ‘Lunar Effect’. One popular belief stemmed from this topic is that the 29.5-day lunar cycle somehow has a relationship with fertility and the roughly 28-day human menstrual cycle.

What else did you read about eclipses or yesterday’s eclipse? Where did you read it? What did you learn? What was its effect on how you saw the eclipse? What made it different from Dillard’s essay?

In the coming weeks we ordered our glasses and read up on all the information we could find. When the day came, we went down to Kentucky and were met with masses and masses of people. Everyone was so anxious to see the eclipse they seemed frantic and hysterical. I can clearly remember the exact expression on the man’s face next to us when he realized that he had bought the wrong glasses for him and his family.
